Take the Northstar Line to Vikings games
Be sure to arrive at the station well before your scheduled departure. Allow yourself plenty of time to park, buy your rail ticket (there may be a line) and board the train without rushing.
Save yourself extra time. Buy a Northstar Family Pass or an individual roundtrip ticket online and skip the line!
